How can teams (that enter the ASQ award process) help each other?
Teams compete against the criteria and not against each other. In this form of competition, teams are encouraged to assist other competing teams however they can. They are also assigned a “Buddy Team” at the live competition. Buddy Teams watch and cheer each other’s presentations. The ultimate goal is to encourage excellence via continuous improvement through teamwork. It is believed that this model best serves quality and participation.
